There really needs to be an offline packer for .gma, since the Workshopper has so many restrictions (whitelist of file extensions, < 50mb, must have legal authorization, cannot be GPL, must both upload and download the whole addon to just get a local copy)

Just use legacy format, it is much easier to be edited and there is no need to format it or upload. If you were wanting to put it back into .gma, it would be pointless. That would not do you anything special unless you were releasing it or want to keep it up to date on a server.

I'd heard it was more efficient somehow, not sure in what regards though.
